We promote 21st Century skills using hi-tech technology, namely, Interactive Smartboards, Apple TVs, Apple Ipads, high speed fibre optic Internet connection, latest
educational apps. We focus on the Sciences in a fun and exciting way, bringing back the magic of learning. We aim to bring values back into education, developing personal virtues and moral maturity. Together with these values we focus on leadership training as part of character development. Character and values are critical to how we live our lives and go about our daily tasks. We aim to teach core skills through the CAPS curriculum and then to build on this foundation with enrichment through project-based learning. VISION
The school’s philosophy is to cater for the individual – each child taking responsibility for their own learning and following their interests to develop into the person that they personally feel that they are meant to be. This leads to an inner self-confidence and acceptance of themselves as individuals. MISSION

exploration and discovery
acceptance and friendship
fun, enrichment and creativity
